This executive order significantly expands the eligible health care workforce and allows additional health care workers to administer
#COVID19 testing and vaccinations. 2/Show this thread
I've directed a 24/7 Operations Center - led by @HealthNYGov - to monitor staffing operations & trends statewide, advise health care facilities, and help troubleshoot situations with providers.
We'll also work with localities to check-in on staffing status across New York. 3/

As of Monday evening:
92% of nursing home staff has received at least one vaccine dose
89% of adult care facility staff has received at least one vaccine dose
92% of hospital staff, according to preliminary self-reported data, has received at least one vaccine dose. 4/Show this thread -
The only way we can move past this pandemic is to ensure that everyone eligible is vaccinated. New York is first in the nation to implement a health care worker vaccine mandate. Let’s continue leading the way and keeping New Yorkers safe & healthy. 5/5
